CCEE1106

Hello stamping friends!! It's time to reach for a new tool. This week, I'd like you to haul out your embossing folders. If you don't have any embossing folders, you could use a stencil and a stylus.

We'd love it if you'd play along also. All you have to do is create a card using the above challenge, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword CCEE1106. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see your card too.

Here's what the CCEE gals came up with:

CCEE1105

Hi everyone!!

Tosh here, and I have some new challenges for you for the month of February.

This month, it's all about the "Tools". When you hear the word "tools", most people think men and their cars, or the wood shop, etc. But not in the crafting world. When it comes to stamping, I'm all about tools. What's new, and what's my tried and true!! Well, for this first week, you need to include a punched piece somewhere on your card. Whether it be a border, corner, flower, circle, whatever shape, but it must be punched (not a diecut). I love my dies, but I also have a huge addiction to punches. I won't even begin to count my stash, and even if I did, I would never admit the number. :o)

We'd love to see how you use punches too, so if you would like to play along all you have to do is create a card using the above challenge, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword CCEE1105. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see your card too.

Hi everyone and happy Thursday!

It's Frances here again with my last challenge for February. I love the look of white on white cards, but I rarely do them unless I have to for a challenge. So this week our challenge is to create a white on white card, meaning all your layers etc are white. You can have color in your image if you wish but otherwise everything needs to be white!

If you would like to play along all you have to do is create a card using the above challenge, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword CCEE1104. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see your card too.

CCEE1102



Hi everyone,

It's time for another challenge! This week Let's Go Wild! We are creating wild cards ... as in shape. These used to be popular some years back and I (Frances) have been revisiting this style of card recently on my blog.

If you aren't sure what a wild card is .... basically it is an odd shape. Instead of having parallel sides you will have sides that are on an angle. If you can't do wild ... do any shape you want.

If you would like to play along all you have to do is create a card using the above challenge, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword CCEE1102. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see your card too.

CCEE1049



Charlene here. This week I've challenged the CCEE team to make a card/project using the holiday song "Do You Hear What I Hear?" as their inspiration. Here are the lyrics in case you'd like to play along with us:

Said the night wind to the little lamb
"Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?

A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite."

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
"Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?

A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the the sea
With a voice as big as the the sea."

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
"Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know?

A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold."

Said the king to the people everywhere
"Listen to what I say
Pray for peace, people, everywhere
Listen to what I say

The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light."


If you would like to play along all you have to do is create a card using the above challenge, and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword CCEE1049. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see your card too.
